BendPak's iconic ALI-Certified 4-post storage lift — six chassis options to fit your garage and vehicle stack. Doesn't have to be bolted down. Optional caster kit makes it portable.
Key Features
- 9,000 lb capacity, ALI-Certified
- Six chassis options (Standard, Narrow ST, Narrow+Tall STX, Extended Length XL, Standard+Tall XW, Extra-Wide Track EWT)
- Short-column variants: 70in max rise, 75in max lift height, 14 safety lock positions every 4in
- Tall-column variants: 82in max rise, 87in max lift height, 17 safety lock positions every 4in
- Minimum runway height when fully lowered: 4.75in (low step-up to drive onto the lift)
- Concrete: 4.25in min thickness, 3,000 PSI, cured 28 days, no anchor within 6in of cracks/joints
- Anchoring: 3/4in x 4.75in wedge anchors at 85–95 ft-lb torque — OR skip anchoring and use the caster kit for full portability
- Air-actuated safety lock release: requires 30 PSI / 3 CFM shop air (add GoAir Mini Compressor if you don't have it)
- Power Column installs at either Front Driver-Side OR Rear Passenger-Side (your choice, decided at install)
- 110V or 220V single-phase available — same price
Best For Shops That
- Hobbyist or collector storing a vehicle ABOVE your daily driver in the same garage bay
- Want an ALI-Certified lift for insurance compliance
- Have (or will pour) 4.25in / 3,000 PSI concrete
- You don't want to drill into your garage floor — HD-9 can be installed WITHOUT bolting down. Add the caster kit (sold separately) and the entire lift becomes portable: roll it between bays, or take it with you when you move. (BendPak still recommends anchoring for maximum stability and ALI cert compliance; many home users skip this trade-off — your choice.)
Do Not Buy If
- You need to store a vehicle taller than ~75in under a short-column chassis — see HD-9STX, HD-9XW, or HD-9EWT (82in rise, tall column) instead.
- Your stored vehicle is over 200in long — choose HD-9XL, HD-9STX, HD-9XW, or HD-9EWT (extended-length runways) instead of the standard HD-9 or HD-9ST.
- You're lifting heavier than 9,000 lb — see Challenger 4030 cable-drive 30K or BendPak HD-9SW double-wide.
- You need a no-air-supply lift — HD-9 uses an air-actuated safety lock release that needs 30 PSI / 3 CFM. If you don't have shop air, add the GoAir Mini Compressor (BendPak 5180052) to your order.
Specifications
- Capacity: 9,000 lb
- Concrete: 4.25" / 3000 PSI
Best for
- Storing a vehicle above your daily driver in the same garage bay — perfect for car collectors, hobbyists, and anyone who needs to double their parking
- ALI-Certified for insurance compliance and peace of mind
- Garages with at least 4.25” thick, 3,000 PSI concrete (most residential slabs qualify)
- Does NOT have to be bolted down — add the portable caster kit and the entire lift rolls between bays or goes with you when you move. BendPak recommends anchoring for max stability, but many home users skip it.
Not the right fit if
- You need a lift for a commercial shop — these are home storage lifts, not built for daily use
- You plan to raise and lower it constantly — designed for occasional use, not high-frequency cycling
- Your vehicles track in heavy road salt and debris — commercial lifts handle that abuse better
- You want to wrench on cars regularly — a commercial 2-post lift gives you full access underneath
- No air supply at all — the safety lock is air-powered, but the GoAir Mini Compressor in accessories below solves this

Compatible Accessories
Check the items you want — they add to your order total. Items marked Recommended are what most customers choose.
Every lift ships with the original steel 36” pin-on ramps. The ramp accessories above are upgrades — pick one set that fits your vehicles and budget. If you want drive-over ramps you will need one of the accessory sets above. Whichever you choose, you will still have the stock steel ramps as a backup.

- Steel-reinforced, cured at least 28 days
- Level within 3/8” over the install area
- No anchor placement within 6” of any crack, edge, or expansion joint
Anchoring — your choice
- Anchor (BendPak recommended): 3/4” × 4.75” wedge anchors, torque 85–95 ft-lb. Maximum stability, full ALI cert.
- Don’t anchor: HD-9 is rated to function unanchored. Add the optional caster kit (5210997) for full portability — roll the lift between bays or take it with you when you move.
Air supply required: 30 PSI, 3 CFM minimum. The HD-9 uses an air-actuated safety lock release. If you don’t have shop air, add the GoAir Mini Compressor (5180052) — it mounts to the lift column.
Electrical: 110V single-phase, dedicated 15–20A circuit
We’ll ship you our concrete test tool so you can verify your slab before you commit. $250 deposit is fully refundable when you return the tool within 30 days. You cover return shipping.
Power Column Location
The power column houses the motor, air valve, and pushbutton control. Your 110V (or 220V) outlet and air line both terminate at this column.
Per the BendPak HD-9 IOM: the only two valid locations for the Power Post are Front Driver-Side or Rear Passenger-Side.
What this means for your install:
- Your electrician will route the outlet to whichever corner you pick.
- The air line (from your shop compressor or the GoAir Mini Compressor mounted on the lift) terminates at the same corner.
- The pushbutton control sits at this corner — pick the corner that’s most convenient to reach while you’re driving onto the lift.
No need to pick now. Most customers decide at install time once they see the bay. We’ll capture your preference in our follow-up call before shipping, or your installer can decide on the spot.
Install Coordination & Rough Ballpark
Typical installer cost for HD-9: $1,200 – $1,600
Range depends on driveway access, epoxy floor condition, whether you anchor or not, accessory installation (caster kit, ramps, drip pans), and installer location.
What that ballpark covers: delivery to your garage, basic assembly, and concrete prep guidance. Some installers anchor for an additional charge.
What it does NOT cover:
- Electrical work (electrician runs the outlet to the power column corner — separate cost)
- Concrete pour or repair (if your slab doesn’t meet 4.25” / 3,000 PSI)
- Removing your existing lift (if any)
- Long-haul delivery beyond the contiguous 48 states
Two paths:
(a) Find your own installer. We can refer one in your area — call us if you need a recommendation. You’ll handle scheduling and payment direct with the installer.
(b) Let us coordinate the install.
We schedule the installer, handle warranty registration after install, and do a post-install inspection. The $499 deposit is applied to your final install bill. If we can’t find an installer in your area, the deposit is fully refunded.
What to Watch Out For
Ceiling obstacles — measure with the lift at max lift height, not just over the columns:
- Garage door tracks (especially the curved section where the door rolls up)
- Garage door opener motor housing
- Light fixtures, low ceiling fans
- Heating ducts, exhaust fans, radon mitigation pipes
- Storage hooks, slat walls, attic access pull-down stairs
Floor checklist:
- Cracks, anchor holes from old lifts, in-floor heating, drains, expansion joints
- BendPak min anchor distance: 6” from any of the above
- Floor level: 3/8” maximum variation over the install area
Layout checklist (HD-9 specific):
- Drive-thru clearance varies by chassis (76.65” Narrow → 93.25” Extra-Wide). Measure your vehicle’s tire-to-tire width PLUS at least 4” on each side for parking comfort.
- Power column corner accessibility — make sure your chosen corner has line-of-sight to where you’ll stand while loading/unloading.
- If you’re going un-anchored: the bare lift weighs ~1,200 lbs. The caster kit (5210997) adds ~80 lbs and full portability.
Rules of thumb:
- Always leave the lift fully lowered OR engaged on a safety lock. Never park a vehicle on a raised lift that isn’t on a lock.
- Drive your vehicle ONTO the lift front-first (back-in is harder to center). Chock the rear wheels once positioned.
Electrical & Air
Electrical:
- 110V or 220V single-phase, depending on your toggle selection. Same price.
- Dedicated circuit recommended (don’t share the circuit with other shop equipment).
- 15–20A breaker for 110V, 30A breaker for 220V.
- Have a licensed electrician install the outlet — don’t DIY this if you’re not certified.
- Recommended: loose whip cord with a twist-lock plug hanging from the ceiling above the power column corner, so you can disconnect easily for maintenance.
Air supply:
- HD-9 requires 30 PSI minimum, 3 CFM minimum at the air-actuated lock release valve.
- If you have shop air — route a line to the power column corner.
- If you don’t — add the GoAir Mini Compressor (5180052) — $236. It mounts to the lift column and provides exactly the air this lift needs.
